Contents

The Online Registration dialog (Figure 18.21) can be accessed through the File tab→Security→Edit Security Configuration→Online Registration.

The Online Registration dialog will only be available to you if you are an FCS Express Internet Dongle or Site License customer and have Administrator privileges assigned to your user in FCS Express.

Online registration will allow you to set up a web link and signup code customized to your institutions needs for allowing FCS Express end user registration. Registration can be set up to allow users to register with or without approval. Multiple levels of approval may be assigned and custom registration email messages may be created directly within FCS Express.

Website Registration Form and Customizations

The unique signup code used will automatically be filled in the site license code field and users should click on Register to register for their site license account. Alternatively, if users already have a De Novo Software account you may ask them to visit https://denovosoftware.com/RegisterForSiteLicense and enter the unique signup code manually.

Note that the Email Address of the Approver* field (Figure above) will be displayed only when choosing the option for "New users must be confirmed by an approver" in the Online Registration options. The Approval email address should be the email address of the person who will be providing approval of the user. If only "New users must be confirmed by an approver" is checked, they will be the final level of approval for user creation. If "Require administrator confirmation" is also checked then the Approval email address will first be messaged for approval before sending a subsequent message to the Admin email for final approval.

Custom Registration Messages

Custom registration messages can be defined for the web form and emails sent at various points in the registration process. Custom registration messages may be set by clicking on the -- Custom registration messages -- drop down as seen in figure 18.24 below.

•The Open button will allow you to import a message as a text file.

•The Save As button will allow you to save a message as a text file.

•The Insert Field drop down will allow you to automatically populate the message via a field from the User's information entered in the form (figure below-right). For instance, if users have questions regarding their account you might consider including the Administrator email address in the User registration complete message. Or if an approver needs to easily access the Lab name or requesting users email address it may be included in the Approver and Administrator confirmation emails.
